“But mutually assured destruction is not a foregone conclusion.”

"The only place this conflict can end is the destruction of the world and life as we know it."

That doesn't look to me like she was saying it's a "possible" conclusion. There's no nuance anymore. In order to get attention, people have to make the most outlandish statements so they will get clicks and likes and retweets. It's total lunacy.
